The ratio of increase in the volume of a body to the original volume of the body is called Correct Answer Volumetric strain

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. Volumetric strain.

CONCEPT:

  • Volumetric strain: It is defined as the ratio of change in volume to the original volume i.e. ΔV /V.

EXPLANATION: 

  • The volumetric strain is the unit change in volume, i.e. the change in volume divided by the original volume of the substance.

Additional Information

  •  Longitudinal strain: It is the ratio of change in length to the original length.
  • Tensile strain: The fractional change in an object's length when tensile stress is applied to it.
  • Young's modulus: It is the ratio of stress produced in a substance to strain.

"S produces and sells one product, P, for which the data are as follows:
Selling price Rs 28
Variable cost Rs 16
Fixed cost Rs 4
The fixed costs are based on a budgeted production and sales level of 25,000 units for the next period. Due to market changes both the selling price and the variable cost are expected to increase above the budgeted level in the next period. If the selling price and variable cost per unit increase by 10% and 8% respectively, by how much must sales volume change, compared with the original budgeted level, in order to achieve the original budgeted profit for the period?"
